Re: [udig-devel] create a command

Alright, I need some explanation on tools creation, else I will end up
to fill the whole UI of Udig with randomly ordered JGrass commands.
Example:
I want to create a set of tools able to import and export different map
formats into and out of the JGrass workspace.
So what I do is:
Is that a tool? Or an Import and Export wizard? Based on your questions
it sounds like you are asking about a Tool. I would like to ask what
your workflow is ... what steps does a user take to import / export a
map format?
1) Create a category: so I
- supply an id
- have no idea on what to say for commandId, since there will be a bunch
of command in this category
often people take something similar to the classname
- give the icon path
- give a nice name
remember to use the %NAME trick so the name can be internationalized.
- have no idea about what the selectionProvider does
I do not know either.
- have no idea about what the applicabilityId is
Applicability has to do with if the tool is enabled for that layer or
not. You can turn off editing for one layer, (or selection for that matter).
2) Create an actionTool: so I
- set the ID and the tooltip and the name and the class and the icon
- choose whether to put it on the toolbar (where?) or not
- supply the id of the just created category
- don't know how to handle commandIDs, commandHandler and menuPath even
if they sound like very good to tune configuration.
Can someone please light my way?
Looking at the docs:
http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/DEV/5+Working+with+GIS+Application
Did not answer our questions; we will ask Richard when he get's back
(tomorrow?) and if not it would be time to read the javadocs and experiment.
